People are filing their own tax returns this year. They keep making the same mistakes as before. Claiming the eligible deductions could put a large sum back in their pockets. Late claims are allowed. These extra refunds often go directly to savings accounts because living costs keep climbing. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) warns against overstating deductions. Getting the numbers wrong in Division 296 cases could trigger audits. Many add additional write-offs to help pay the bills as prices go up across the country.
